Umm - Is it just me or do relatively few of those catagories actually involve
building? It's fairly obvious that anyone who makes 3/4 of that list is going
to be a certified maniac, but it seems to me, at least, as though there should
be a more significant number of requirements for having built models. I know
that model judging is much less clearcut than most of those, but how about a
requirement something like this:
Create a model using at least n elements in 3/4 of the following catagories:
Minifig-scale building, functional technic vehicle, 'modern' town setting,
scale model of a real structure, 4.5v, 9v or 12v train system, any current Lego
theme, any non-current Lego theme, functional technic tool or appliance, etc
And just a note - since this is being aimed at the on-line community, it's
obviously going to be biased towards computer-related activities, but you want
to be careful not to unfairly lock out the non-computer literate.
Thanks!
